Tristan Robert Lange

the lonely attic

listen in—really strain—

this will come in whisper soft:

he writes poems—fame the gain—

politics his other name,

no one sponsoring a liability

leads to financial instability;

arsenic agility—consumption—

chatterton conversations

ending silent and tragic

in the lonely attic.
